Hello

I can get a 1Ds for a good price with 24K shots!
I am thinking of selling the 30D + Grip and go for the 1Ds.
Full Frame 11.4MP.....

Will i regret this choice.... or will it make me happy????

Please some advice....

Richard

I've owned 3. I'd own it again. I would take the 1Ds.

40d and 1Ds? 40D. I like to shoot wide though...


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

Thought so, just got the impression you had gone out and added a 40D

One day I'll find a dirt cheap 1Ds - and I'll buy it for my backup again. Loved that camera.

You'll get great colour. Weather sealing. 1 Series uasbility. WAV file annotation, ISO in viewfinder, focus screens etc.

You'll lose ETTL II and high ISO. The 1Ds Does ETTL (which is just fine) and it only goes to ISO 1250.

Pixel density is amazing though. You get some awesome images.
